"With colour one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft." -Matisse "My curves are not crazy" - Matisse Here, I'm wearing a new one-of-a-kind shirt I bought in Golbourne Rd Market~ it's from a tailor's shop in Thailand that the stall owner bought when it was displayed for stitching examples to customers. It shows all the girls-schools' crests in the area it was bought from and it's super cute ~~ "I wouldn't mind turning into a vermilion goldfish" -Matisse "Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache." - Hockney Matisse blue nudes The other day I saw Peace and Bombay Bicycle Club live at Earl's Court London and as expected Peace were so so great. It was the 6th time I have seen them, and I never regret it~~ this time, Harrison Koisser sauntered onstage wearing a poncho: it was the most heavenly thing. It reminded me of Vince Noire in The Mighty Boosh, who claims "you can never be unhappy in a poncho" because Harrison's joy was radiating in glorious waves. They played Gen Strange, the new song from their forthcoming album which was dreamy to hear for the first time live, and everyone screamed "How do you do it?" right back at Harrison~~ Sam Koisser had traded his ordinary black skinny jeans for glittery trousers, as dark as his silky black hair. For the first time ever he had surprisingly found some sort of new MAGICAL stage presence asl well, and it was beautiful. Opening with the classic Lovesick and finishing their supporting set with World Pleasure: And as the resounding base line began to fade out and Doug's bopping head movements subsided, a boy standing next to me (whose face was covered in Peace stickers) and the rest of the crowd cried out for more.                                                     I had a very emotional time in the Tate Britain yesterday when I went to see the Turner Prize exhibition of up-and-coming modern artists. I have nothing against "post-modern" art and some of the artists were v talented and cool but WHERE WERE THE PAINTINGS AND THE SOUL ART it was all fkn film art which didn't 100% constitute as art. It was super disappointing but then I came out feeling all moody and walked straight into the Hockney/Freud/Moore room and it was like finding a lake after 100days in the desert. It was beautiful and I was so haPPY to see Lucian Freud's Girl With Kitten and Hockney's A Bigger Splash like they were my old friends and all my faith in British art was 100% restored.. GOODBYE // MERRY CHRISTMAS X X X

Peace and Love

I just realised I haven't mentioned the most glorious thing ever that happened to me about a week ago..
Peace are one of my favourite bands ever; they all have the most beautiful clothes and hair, and their music's pretty fab as well. So on Thursday, a friend of mine asked me to come to the Fly Awards to see Peace live so I was super excited. Then, when I got there, I realised it was not only Peace performing, but Bombay Bicycle Club and The Horrors too!!!!! We were sitting on the 1st level above the stage and then we looked down on the ground-floor and Peace and all their girlfriends were sitting right there at a table and they waved at us omg it was beautiful.

Peace played and oh it was heavenly, Harrison Koisser wore a super-cool technicolour jumper and a striped polo neck with the the most enviable black jacket and silvery shoes. They played a mix of several songs from 'In Love' and then they covered a Fatboy Slim song (which was my childhood jam) so it was pretty much perfect. 
Bombay Bicycle Club played songs from their new album, including Feel and Carry Me which was great.

The Horrors had the most over-whelming but brilliant light-show, with mulitcoloured rays exposing the smoky-black silhouettes of the band members as they played 'Still Life'. All in all it was super cool, but to top it all off, we waited by the back doors at the end, AND THEN SUDDENLY DOUGLAS CASTLE APPEARED.

He was wearing a tweed jacket and black polo neck, with a little spiky gold-cross around his neck, and it was all very lovely; he came over to us and we had the nicest conversation about how we'd seen Peace live last year and then he complemented my jumper and it was *delicious*. As I got the bus home I was heavily star-struck and listened to California Daze at least 5 times before I could consider going to sleep.
